Re: Issuance of 28,927,577 Shares of The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America,
Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, Inc. (the "Fund") has requested our
opinion in connection with the issuance by the Fund of 28,927,577 capital
shares of the Fund (the "Stock") during the period September 1, 1994 through
August 31, 1995 inclusive ("Fiscal 1995"). We understand that a copy of this
opinion will be provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We have examined documents relating to the organization of the Fund and
the authorization and issuance of shares of the Fund. We have also examined a
certificate of the Vice President and Treasurer of the Fund, dated October 3,
1995, relating to the number of shares of the Fund issued by the Fund during
Fiscal 1995.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
The issuance of the Stock by the Fund has been duly and validly authorized
by all appropriate corporate action and, assuming delivery by sale or in accord
with the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan was in accordance with the
description set forth in the Fund's current prospectuses under the Securities
Act of 1933, the Stock has been duly authorized and is validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the submission of a copy of this opinion to the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of the Fund's Rule 24f-2
Notice for Fiscal 1995, as contemplated in Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The opinion given above is subject to the condition that the Fund shall
have complied with the provision of any applicable laws, regulations and
permits of any state or foreign country in which any of the Stock was sold or
was issued in accord with the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan.
Very truly yours,
MORRISON & FOERSTER
